Hello!
I'm going to create my own indicator which will be drawn on 5-minute chart. This indicator must analyse information about each trade (tick) individually (time, price, volume and type (ask or bid trade), which is shown in "Time and Sales" window).
How I can obtain such information about each trade for my indicator (which will be used on 5-minute chart)?
I found only one method to do it - additionally open tick chart and use methods described on page "Referencing Other Time Frames and Symbols" (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILRefOtherTimeFrames.php#ProgramOpeningCharts).
Is there any other methods to get information about separate trades (tick data), if I don't want to open tick chart?

Hi

IMHO you need manual looping http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACS_ArraysAndLooping.html#manuallooping

In response to the first post, the method you describe to do this, would be the best method.

There is also the Time and Sales function in ACSIL:
